Big Buck Contest

We seem to be registering about the same amount of deer as we had last opener. Weather has been nice - maybe too nice for the deer.

Our biggest buck so far goes 235 pounds, taken by Troy Vetsch. Second place right now is Preston Gehrke with a buck going 190 pounds. Calvin Wittner is in the lead for the biggest doe, going at l85 pounds. Contest goes until the 23rd, so we'll see what happens. Congratulations to the current leaders!

We wish everyone a safe and successful hunt.

Fishing Report

October 26, 2009

With the cool, rainy weather, we have not seen a lot of guys going out on the lake. There have been a few grouse hunters out and about. All the leaves still haven't left the trees yet, so they are hard to spot.

We're getting geared up for opening firearm deer season on the 7th of November. Sign up for our biggest buck and biggest doe contest! We will be giving away a 30-06 rifle for the biggest buck and a 270 Marlin for the biggest doe. We also have second and third place prizes.

Remember to give me a call for Froggy's Fishhouse Rentals. I can answer your questions and get you set up for the ice fishing season.

Good hunting and fishing!

Fishing Report

October 5, 2009

Fishing has been sort of slow in the area. We have had rain and cool weather the last several days and it sounds like there is more rain coming and cooler weather yet toward the end of the week.

Break on the Lake Resort had their cystic fibrosis tournament on Saturday and most of the guys did really well. It's a really a good cause and everyone has a good time.

There are a few gross hunters going out. There is still lots of cover so hunting is hard. It will improve in a couple weeks, when the leaves start falling off the trees. Weather was good for duck hunting and though there weren't a whole lot of ducks, everyone seemed to get a few.

We registered our first archery deer yesterday. Firearm season will be coming before we know it.

I got back from my Wyoming trip yesterday. We had another successful hunt and a good time was had by all.

Good hunting and fishing!

Fishing Report

Hi from Mama Froggy and the gang! Froggy is off in Wyoming bow hunting for whitetail deer and mule deer and then to the Dakotas for antelope on their way back to Minnesota.

Weather has been just great and the fish are biting. Several of the resorts are coming in for fathead minnows on a regular basis. Cass is producing walleye, perch and some real nice sunfish in Allen's Bay. They are working the walleye in about 18 feet of water and up shallow in the evening.

Hope you are all enjoying this nice Fall weather we are having. Stop by when you are in the area.

Sounds like the grouse hunters are hearing plenty of grouse in the woods, but with all the leaves they are hard to see. Give that a week or so and that should improve.

Good hunting and fishing from all of us at Froggys!

The perch bite is on. Cass Lake, Winnie and Pike Bay all have been doing well. They are picking up some walleye too, starting out in that 16 to 18 foot range. Cedar Bar and North Cedar Bar on Cass are producing walleye. Shad raps and rapajas in the evening, along the weed lines seem to be working.

They have been getting some nice northern on Big Wolf, using a bobber and minnow.

Bear season is on. We have registered about 22 bear so far. My wife, shot her first bear on the opening day, with one shot. It weighed in at 190 pounds. She did the "Froggy Dance" out in the woods. She was really excited! My brother-in-law also got a big bear, weighing in at 384 pounds, field dressed. That was a beauty!

Fall seems to be settling in. Don't know where the summer went to. We have had really nice weather this last 10 days or so. The best fishing is yet to come.

Good luck to all the fishermen and you hunters out there.

Fishing Report

Walleye are biting on Cass Lake off the breaks and bars. Some guys have had good luck with creek chubs on snells in 30 to 40 feet of water. Some guys have also done well with crawlers and leeches in about l8 feet. Perch are going in about 4 to 7 feet on weed lines and breaks. Work the edge of the bars at night using crank baits.

Kitchi has also been producing some walleye in 10 to 12 feet, on the edge of the breaks.

Weather was just great today and sounds like it should be nice most of next week. Hope you can get out on the water and enjoy these nice days.

Good fishing!
